# LTX 2.3 Pro: Extend Video

> Extend existing video clips

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Try LTX 2.3 Pro: Extend Video in the Workbench" icon="flask" href="https://www.oxen.ai/ai/workbench?model=ltx-2-3-pro-extend-video">
    Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**Model ID:** `ltx-2-3-pro-extend-video`

LTX 2.3 (Extend Video) lengthens an existing clip by generating additional frames at the beginning or end using Lightricks LTX-2.3. An optional prompt describes what should happen in the extended portion, and the model uses surrounding footage as context to preserve motion continuity.

Extension can be applied at the end (default) or the start of the video, with a configurable amount of context drawn from the input clip. The video can be extended by up to 20 seconds per request.

## Example request

<Tip>
  Use the [Workbench](https://www.oxen.ai/ai/workbench?model=ltx-2-3-pro-extend-video) as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the **API** tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.
</Tip>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Sync">
    This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer **Async** or **Async with SSE** for anything beyond quick experimentation.

    See the [video generation reference](/inference-api/reference/video_generation) for more details.
